Hi, I’m John.

My stories and humor pieces have appeared in anthologies and several literary magazines, including McSweeney’s, The Chicago Reader, Wisconsin Review, Points in Case, and The American Bystander.

I live near Chicago with my wife and our Boston Terrier.

I mostly write fiction and humor, but I also make occasional comics and videos.

I’m inspired by dreams and half-waking thoughts, but what drives me to create is simple:

“I want see what that looks like.”

If you don’t try to create something, you will never get to meet your creation. It’s that simple.
